Local Elections Roundup

Posted in:

* Court bars 2 felons from ballot, but 2 remain; candidate speaks out against the ruling

* Election Board expresses concern over lost mailings [press release]

* Updates from around the city: Brown, Stone, Fioretti, and Daley

* Challenger renew complaints of TIF system abuse:

Mayor Daley says they help him redevelop downtown and the neighborhoods. It’s his only redevelopment tool, he repeats when confronted with criticism of TIFs.

* Local elections not stirring up interest with college students

* Sunday a day of rest for no one but Daley

* Central Illinois mayoral races highlight primaries

* Response to anti-Dolar mailer

* Coleman admits to being outnumbered by union volunteers in 16th ward

* Three’s a primary for Springfield mayoral race

* Mayoral race in Carbondale draws widespread attention

But some say there may be an underlying dynamic to the outside attention the contest is getting: that Democrats want to establish a downstate dynasty around Simon’s respected name, possibly setting her up for a future run for higher office; and that Republicans want to stop that dynasty before it starts
